DOWN AND OUT IN PALM BEACH?

When a Venezuelan oil tanker crashed through a retaining wall and landed in Palm Beach socialite Mollie Wilmot’s Olympic-sized swimming pool, Wilmot did the proper thing: She invited the crew in for Beluga caviar and Brie. They stayed for a month.

Now, about a year later, Hollywood may make Wilmot a household name. After lengthy negotiations with super agent Swifty Lazar and New York lawyer Roy Cohn, producer David Permut bought the rights and will produce the story for Disney Productions.

There is a debate though on the title: “I want to call it ‘Washed Ashore,’ and Disney wants to call it ‘Palm Beach,’ ” said Permut. “So maybe we’ll call it ‘Washed Ashore in Palm Beach.’ ”
